Our guess is that you recognise the driver more easily than the car. This automobile is exceptionally rare and we are not so sure if one of them survived. A photo is quite hard to find online so we are proud being able to show you this one, provided by arguably the best experts in this particular field. The shot was taken with only four days short almost exactly 100 years ago on 17 July 1917. The appearance of the car with this driver in fact is a first milestone in a very special automobile career. There are no earlier photos known showing this gentleman with a car.
Interestingly the make of car shown is connected with a handful of famous brandnames and was produced under different names for the home market and export. The radiator will make you remind of at least two famous makes, one of which participated in New York - Paris. We're afraid that we leave you with more questionmarks than hints so here one extra, thin straw to hold on. The photo is showing the very first time the driver was seen at the wheel of a car! We wish you a brilliant weekend. Be sure to post your answer before Monday July 17 ! The correct answer and source of photo and information will be revealed next week Saturday.
